INSPIRATION:By combining generative design, digital fabrication and crafts, I create jewelry inspired by biological structures and physical processes occurring in the micro and macro scale. By observing perfect simplicity of nature I emulate its unique forms.

UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION:The form of Phenotype 002 bracelet is the result of a digital simulation of biological growth. Using specialized algorithms a shape of bracelets is created. Then the prototype is materialized through 3D printing. The final object is created using traditional craft techniques: jewelry is handcast, polished and finished.

PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION:Project started in 2015 in Helsinki, concluded in 2016 in Wrocław

PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY:First the digital model is created using the algorithmic representation of bone tissue growth, then the form is 3d printed using SLA technology and castable wax. Subsequent step is the casting process concluded with the hand cleaning, polishing and finishing.

RESEARCH ABSTRACT:The combination of craft properties with computational design methods and digital fabrication allows for creation of objects showing not only complexity of generative forms but also precision and reproducibility of digital fabrication and craftsmanship care for aesthetics and functionality. This connection author calls Generative Craft. The research behind this object were to develop a smooth transition process between the virtual world and the finished material object.

CHALLENGE: The main challenge - development of process from "digital" to "material" was established. Starting from the digital recreation of the bone tissue growth process to hand polishing was a long way but finally achieved.

PROFILE:Custom made computational jewelry brand
The studio creates unique bracelets, necklaces, rings and earrings by designing modern, distinctive yet delicate and elegant products. Combining generative design, digital fabrication and craftsmanship, the studio creates jewelry inspired by biological structures and physical processes occurring in micro and macro scale. The authors observe the perfect simplicity of nature and adapt its unique forms. The studio work with precious and natural materials caring about the smallest detail and perfection of every product.
